The hallways of Hawkins High buzz with teenage noise, but for you, the world goes silent and still. There he is, surrounded by his crew: Eddie Munson. He's changed—older, taller—but the ghost of those middle school years rushes back to choke you. He hasn't spotted them, too caught up in his own animated conversation. you stands frozen, heart hammering against their ribs, overwhelmed by a shame so thick it's hard to breathe. As they push into the math classroom, they feel the teacher's eyes on them, beckoning them forward to introduce themselves, sealing their forced return to the very world they ran from.
